LFP flooding - some updates

Good news - the diversion which was designed to route the storm stream away from the Northshore fire station in LFP Towne Centre is working and the fire department is dry. Readers may recall that in the significant weather event of a few years back, a stream appeared and ran right through the middle of the new fire station. Firefighters just opened up the doors on each side of the building, stacked sand bags on each side and let the water run through.  Thanks to Sen. Fairley for getting the money for that project.

I understand that traffic is getting through on Bothell Way, so either the flooding receded or it was short-lived.

Some houses on McAleer Creek had water up to the doorstep.

I was in Towne Centre on Friday and the portion of Lyon Creek in the mall was all the way to the top of its banks. I imagine it's a little higher now.

I don't plan to check in person, so if anyone has a view out their windows, tell us what's happening.
